farewell friend/tom troyer - we are not alone lyrics

year after year you ask me
what these jumbled up words mean
so i’ll give you a bird’s eye view of the wreckage
i’ll give you my best guess
i feel like a thunder storm of hope and despair
gettin’ squeezed through the eye of a needle
only the mist sifts through my lips
my poetry
may as well be my speaking in tongues
but for the “one or two”
they’re nodding in approval
they help me keep going
for the folks who intеrpret with a smile
and the words simply confirm
wе are not alone
but i’ve been planning a big ol’ breakup
with the folk songs
cause generally speaking
all the kids just want the beat, the smoke
and the dose of disillusionment
so here i must confess i myself am gathered up
as in a gunny sack and carried off to market
another piper is playing his tune
and now i’m singing it too
the words simply confirm
we are not alone
but i’ve played the bad guy
and i’ve played the fool and i painted the corners of suffering
in the hopes of softening their edges
and i sang about a frontier too distant
till i excused that dream from a ledge
i’ve questioned your notions of god
and the duality of justice found in the wild
and i tortured my jealous eyes
from their sockets
till all i could see was the child
i’ve said it all as clear as i can
i’m living at the edge of the man
i hope to become
he’s just waiting for me to listen in
he’s just waiting for me to listen in
says there’s so much of you
that wants to get out of this place
feel hope drink fire
break down the other side of somewhere new
there’s just something i want you to read
before you go
